guge999 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 We decided to build a ramp for the 8th and 10th scale buggies. Its actually coming along much better than expected so thought I would start a build thread, as we are planning to eventually put a bit of a track together. Would certainly welcome advice on materials etc, if anyone has done this before . That's where we are currently at, were using old floorboard slats to cover it. Don't have any better photos as of now Hoping it will hold together better than the old one that ended up in pieces after a rc8be tearing straight through it... Consider using carpet so if anyone has any advice on that as well that would be good. Sent from my Nokia 3210 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shdaxner Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Maybe use some 5mm MDF or plywood to go over the top of the floorboards to give it that extra bit of strength and smoothness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guge999 Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Good idea, how do you think carpet would do? Maybe too grippySent from my Nokia 3210 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shdaxner Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Carpet would maybe be suffice but would it catch on any of the bis on the cars? sometimes you do get bits of the chassis which become sharp due to scratches or chips whatever...the MDF or ply would also be quite hard wearling too.

RCMonkee Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Used to build one like this for skateboarding all the time. Just need a good sheet of plywood. Keep it simple. Screw a handle on the side to make it easier to move about I made mine with a sheet of perspex for something different and a little lighter. http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/20094-hang-time/http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/20089-jump-ramp/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
